WHY ORIENTATION AND TRANSITION PROGRAMS?

The University of North Texas is focused on the retention and overall success of our students. Through Orientation and Transition Programs, resources and services are provided to help you establish and attain your educational goals. Beginning with your first year, our office serves as a central location to help you connect with your peers, faculty, staff, and parents. These connections can help guide and direct you through your experiences at UNT.
